The Clippers are not even the "lovable losers" of Los Angeles that people will ever feel sorry for or identify with. The organization just seems to be cursed.

Even the new Arena in Inglewood announced yesterday will not be ready until 2024. I loved Kawhi in Toronto but he'll be lucky if he's still running around on those legs by 2024.
No one is willing to point this out, because it doesn't fit the narrative. But the Seattle City Council has basically gone full radical socialist. No one is bringing a team into this anti-business environment. If it wasn't for this, I imagine Seattle would have had a team a long time ago. The city has actually had to quietly veto a number of anti-business resolutions the council has passed in the last couple years, because Amazon and other big corporations have threatened to downsize significantly in Seattle if they are implemented.
